Hi Gilles,

I have managed to get the damn thing out in a readable, if none too
pretty, format using Fantasia.  Since the author of TDP is the author
of Fantasia I guess there is a great deal of similarity.  Fantasia
even has a \TDP command to tell it to properly interpret TDP
formatted files.

Mind you, I have to question the mind that provides documentation in
such an arcane format.  I expect this crap from the Unix crowd, but
MPE???

Even the preformatted cctl version of the manual was apparently
produced for 66 lines per page. This made getting it out via a
laserjet problematic at best. In fact I was never able to do so
successfully, no matter how I went at it.

Regards,
Jim
